Dr. Wall pickle dish with chinese pattern. How unusual is this?

Who is Dr Wall and what does he have to do with a dish in the Willow pattern?

 

Interesting reading, had never heard of this: https://www.museumofroyalworcester.org/discover-learn/research/factories/dr-wall-the-first-factory/

 

I'm still confused about why there is a supposed connection to this dish. This is transferware. The only potential marking looks like a tiny x.

 

I've a few of these pickle dishes, I really like them. One of mine, very damaged, is Liverpool apparently. That x is known to be linked to Worcester.

 

the "X" mark is actually one of a series of marks known as Workman's marks. I think this one has sort of winged tips at the ends of one of the Xs.

if you scroll down a little and look at the left side there are about 26 or 27 marks they have labeled as "workman's marks":

if you click on that page it sort of goes away so I dunno what is going on with that page. i dont know if workmen's marks simply means marks to identify the artist but maybe plausible.

 

Is it definitely porcelain. What sort of colour is the translucency

 

Hi John. I have no more photos to offer. It was at an online auction and this is all I have. It sold for $150 which seems like a fair price for a genuine one, maybe should have gone higher?

Thanks for all your help on this and all the other stuff. This discussion board has been a huge help for me.

 

The X is a piecework mark, so that payment can be made.
